Anastasia Raevskaya is a mother of many children. Together with her husband Evgeny, they are raising three children. The youngest son, Artem, was born in March 2021. In 2022, the Mozyr State Newspaper wrote about the family. Propagandists said that the family used "family capital" to purchase part of a block house in Kamenka and moved from Mozyr to the village.
Most likely, Anastasia Rayevskaya was repressed in the high-profile so-called “Belarusian Gayun case” – a monitoring channel that tracked the actions of the Russian army in Belarus during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Very close to the village of Kamenka, on the outskirts of the neighboring village of Bolshoy Bokov in the Mozyr district, there is a former airfield of the Bellesavia enterprise, which the Belarusian authorities gave to the Russian occupation army before the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine.
